Hearing that story about his mom really got me . Crying at work ready to call my momma to tell her I love her 😂❤️
Same feelings
do it bro!! bc as much as we want them to be here forever, they not going to be!! i lost my pops 10yrs ago and STILL have his cell number locked in!! still fortunate to have my mom and her mom (my g~ma)
I definitely would do it!
Me too bro
Facts 💯
John wall had mfs in Reebok zigs 😭❄️
John Wall story about his momma really got to me man that shit broke my heart. Big respect to him & being able to admit he couldnt be strong when he knew he had to be. Shit make you feel like a lil kid again
Which part, minute and second?
@@aaronmanabe3278 Its the last chapter called Mental Health. At the end. Shit hit me
The pain of losing a parent is unexplainable. I lost my dad over 11 years ago, and I'll never get over it. I think about him every day. On top of that, all of my closest friends passed away. 2 murdered and one from an overdose. It's really hard to go on after such loss. I still somehow manage to work two jobs, go to school, and be a parent. My heart goes out to people like John Wall who deal with loss and mental health issues. I know the feeling. I haven't tried therapy, but at some point, I will. 🙏🏾❤️
It's super crazy that players who were drafted 15 years ago went to LeBron camp, had a whole career, basically retired and he's still playing at the highest level.
Crazy? More like suspect!!
@@dannyfunderburg5458was it suspect when tom brady did it ?
@@oceanhudsontoo me yes fam
@@dannyfunderburg5458but wasn’t suspect when Jordan played at 40 right? Y’all are so funny man lmao
@@zuhayralam2146 every athlete at that level is on some shit they shouldnt be on
John wall should still be in the league
Hell yeah he should
Could easily be coming off the bench for a lot of teams
@@ballsballsballs3617 people don’t understand how much you don’t want to do a job when you go from 25m/y to 3m/y
They got it in the g league John wall deserves to be in the league easily
If he wasn't injury prone he would be
My favorite jersey ever is my John wall wizards throwback. Dude was also unstoppable in 2k for years!!
💯💯💯
I always use his build for 2k it gets busy lol can't shoot for shit lol
I rarely comment but gotta say I love this podcast and was hyped to see John Wall. Fastest player with the ball in his hands that I have ever seen on the court. This dude has been my favorite NBA player since I saw his high school mixtape release when I was in middle school. He made me root for the Wizards when I couldn't care less about them before (and after, I am a Jazz fan). Also, one of the greatest dudes off the court you will ever see. Great stuff!
John wall was fast as shit. i think my #1 fastest player coming down hill full court was young J kidd
I remember how he get rebound run super fast coast to coast and get block from Chris Bosh. That was so stupid)
Attention to detail, chapters regarding the ads is next level. Man the guests, the convos, the stories. These are real OG’s
Thank you!
Mikes team is second to none
John Wall a legend 🔥
You don't see Mike ever without holding a ball 😂
🤣💯
LET IT FLY BABY
Straight Shooter
John Wall’s still my favorite HS hoopmixtape from back in the day. I used to watch it before every game like I was finna go out there n do the same shit 😂
John Wall a legend in dc
U already kno
Facts
Always enjoyed watching John Wall play, hope he's able to find his way back in the league
My favorite player ever! Dc legend! He has a ton of love all around DC to this day
Used to give his Courtside seats to dads with kids at the game in the nosebleeds. Great guy, most NC guy you'll ever meet
It's great to hear John speak about his path. The highest and the low, bounce back and stay strong, salute too.
Touching. I like when these podcast talk with players as people and not just athletes. And man, I can relate to being at rock bottom and discovering whose there for you and who are just associates.
UD sitting with the most underrated nba player in nba history. He should be in the league right now
man put my boy wall back in the league..and i can relate to them towards the end about losing someone i lost my father and i haven’t been the same it’s still a struggle today.
Forever a legend in DC!!! John is DC and did A LOT for the community when he was here…Wizards should let him retire a Wizard.. straight up 💯💪🏾
Love seeing John Wall out here telling his story. But one extra thing, the could have had John, Klay, Brad, and the Greek Freak. They took Jan Vessely and Otto Porter. Mannnnnn!
Best hoop mixtape of all time
John, Gabe York and Austin Rivers easily
Malik Monk's is fire also. Jalen Green's is fire also.
John i love you for talking on your experience bro. Legend forever
Da real DC always gonna f*ck wit John Wall 💯
💯💯💯
Y’all chemistry and questioning unmatched keep it up
Hearing John Wall talk about Chris Wilcox and the response I love it always love the REAL Guys I watched from my late 20s til today
Great episode!! Shoutout to y’all for sharing y’all mental health struggles
I always wish I could sit down with Wall and Bs about hoops. Im the same way, just a hoops junkie.
“B*tch I’m like John Wall, cuz I just get it and go…” - Meek,
S/O The Museum hat yo! 💯🤙🏾💪🏾
THE OGs BACK AGAIN WITH A BANGER🔥🫡
Hell yeah they are
Besides Jeff Teague John wall has some of the best NBA stories
Losing the 2nd parent is really tough. You focus on taking care of the 2nd parent so much after losing your first parent, but when you lose both, it is a lot of grief, and you really have to focus on the grief more.
Raleigh NC in the building I remember those word of god games John was the biggest thing in our city in high school 💯💪🏾 #Southside
One of my favorite players man I still remember when I first got his shoes in middle school
UD is a real one. Mike Miller is a real one. John Wall is a real one.
Mofo is one of the best one man fast break I've seen. I love it when he avoids the D with a 360 lay-up. Plays hard on defense as well. Word is he is gonna join the Heat.
This was a great show John walls a legend. He had great chemistry with Mike and OG I’m down for wall to put on the heat uni
Can’t wait to see Wall back in NBA. King of DC 5ever. I peeped he rocking ‘The Musuem’ hat. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
He can still help a team win. Stats don’t lie. We all know he should have started OVER Reggie Jackson 22-23 season. 💯👌🏾
Naw UD dougie’n got me weak. 🕺🏾😂😂
Still one of the coldest. Idc what nobody say
💯💯💯
Just read that players tribune man and felt so many emotions for my boy saddest shit ever .. Glad you still hear JWALL!!!!! 🤟🏾💯
As a Memphis fan, it’s better sweet to watch this one because we feel like Cal left and took our #1 recruiting with him.
MIAMI HEAT NEED TO SIGN WALL!
Pisses me off my Suns didn't sign John Wall for this season
💯💯💯
@thebohr11 me too. They still need to sign him now. We need that PG to stabilize us, especially in the 4th quarter.
@@ED-iq2wd I peep. 💯
@@ED-iq2wd they said let's bring Ish Wainwright back instead 😅 as if David Roddy isn't the same player
I went to John Wall's hometown Raleigh years ago. I spent a week in Mooresville (suburb) of Raleigh. Me and Sarah(she was from London, England). Raleigh is a real cool town! John Wall was one of my favorite point guards of all time along with Magic,Steph,Isiah,Gus Williams,and Westbrook.
I've been saying this all season. John Wall should be in the league. I'm a Lakers fan and I'd rather have him than Gabe Vincent. John could've been our main playmaker when Lebron rests
Great ! The best for John Wall
Good to see John Wall open up with y'all, glad he's still here with us 🙏🏾
John Wall made me back to watching NBA religiously after some years but i stayed for one of a kind Joker.
Wall having him as top of the mountain player makes it a full circle, very happy about the decisions i've made.
John will always be my point guard
💯
I cried at the end
John Wall can help any playoff team
Being from Raleigh ima always support J wall 💪🏿
Peace to John wall my mom passed from cancer as well and seeing that transition is something serious!
And he still talks to a therapist every week. I do the same. Respect
Praise God your mom got better, but damn I was pulling for you to come to NC State. Watched you play at Word of God when I was living in Raleigh. Somebody sign this man
She literally died
Maybe he was speaking on that present time. Idk@@geronimopratt7976
Listening to John Wall and Carmelo talk you wonder where all those crazy narratives come from. Melo, Wall, Cousins and IT should still be on a roster 🔥💯
💯💯💯
They all washed... legends no doubt...but washed lol. IT the only one should still be on NBA roster.
@@Nonconformity9 if you’re a casual and haven’t seen Wall play fr just say that. ‘They only disrespect Black Men. They only (try to) cancel Black Men.’ 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
@@Artislife1992 I'm sure I've watched and played more ball than you. he's 34 years old now you think he can hang with Jalen Green, De'arron Foxx, Cade Cunningham, or SGA? STOP. Not saying he can't hoop but he was bigger stronger and faster than his peers during his time now most the guards are built like that and they 10+ years younger.
they said off the bench n wall would still be an allstar just on his talent in this era..im not even a fan of wall but dont mind him as a person on this but he was taiented.@@Nonconformity9
We need to hear about his high school team in Raleigh it was insane! Him…dez wells CJ Leslie…unless I missed it
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 interview‼️
Shid ain’t gone lie this was deep at the end appreciate that UD & John Wall
Don’t Settle, Be Great‼️
Yes, John Wall should be in the league...but he should also do stuff like this more often. Absolutely loved this podcast! Thank you all for being honest. ✊🏽
This is OG shit, frfr!
Really appreciate the story about John's mom's ❤
OGs coming with the 🔥
Fantastic episode
Great Interview!!!
Bring in Wall and Boogie to the Culture......... that'll take us over the top. They have what we lacking. I've been saying it. Come on OG! Make it happen
Growing up in Raleigh whole family born and raised John Wall was a real neighborhood hero that’s all everyone knew was John Wall. And in Raleigh basketball is all we know so shi was big seeing him do what he did.
Best episode yet everyone needs to learn and hear more about mental health
One of my favorite players if not the favorite player for me when I was kid starting to watch ball. It was at that moment I started becoming drawn to slashing playmakers
Love this pod
I lost my mom a year ago to ovarian cancer and my life hasn’t been the same and I had to go seek help with a therapist and it helped but I have to keep going and enjoying life like she would want me to.. and UD is correct - I can’t remember my mom in the hospital bed but remember the good times as well.
Prayers for you, God bless 🙏
Stay strong for her. One love ♥
Wow thanks John for sharing your story regarding mental health.
Dope yet again. Newfound respect for John Wall
Great interview.....John Wall is great on and off the court
Man, I love you all’s show. Funny as hell!
U.D. finally said what I've been telling people SGA never sweats....Too-Easy!
What a fire episode. So much respect to Wall, what an incredible person and talent. Would love to see him join Heat nation🔥
Another one that should still be in the league
John needed another hr to speak and I’m sure y’all did it off camera but you can tell the talk got heavy on him an he need to let more off of him.
Best podcast out right now
These Podcast Be Tearing Me Up When They Talk About Family 💯‼️💯
John wall my guy
Great interview
Fantastic work
No way he couldn't help a playoff team in contention
John has always been a solid player I’d love to see him with Beal and book and kd
My new favorite duo 🔥
Drose getting lots of love this episode
Oh yea this is going to be good
BEST PODCAST HANDS DOWN!!
Legend
Best hoop podcast
Really miss John Walls furious full court dribbles with that one armed left hand dunk he'd do cause he could jump like crazy off his right leg. John Wall is an OG for sure.
“I’m talking about a heartbreak 💔 you talking about being a punk this hurt” felt that 💯
Damn luv this show UD a real one dawg palm beach county besides u south Florida luv 🧡‼️
Glad yall touched on it… NC State knew they should’ve kept him in house. After they let him get out they never bounced bsck
Do the John wall!!
5 deepty 🐍
Never forget meeting you and you being the realest Mr wall 🫡
The goats of the Wizards franchise (other than MJ): John Wall, Gilbert Arenas, Bradley Beal, Larry Hughes, Nick Young, Javale McGee, Kwame Brown
Dont forget Rip Hamilton, Andray Blatche, Nene and Gortat! Lol
Antwan jamison, Caron butler
@@Munards True I forgot them boys. And of course the supreme light skin Kelly Oubre
MJ never belongs with the greats of the wizards ever!
1: Agent 0
2: john wall
3: beal
4: larry
Gilbert is #1
Wall can still ball!! Wish he was still in the nba man
He’s easily the most underated point guard of the 2010s if only the wizards got him more help
💯💯💯
🔥 🔥 🔥
